HIV testing is the gateway to HIV prevention, treatment, care and other support services. The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) have endorsed global goals to achieve “zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths” by 2030. In addition to this, the new global 90–90–90 targets call for 90% of all people with HIV to be diagnosed, 90% of people with HIV diagnosed to receive ART and 90% of those on ART to have a suppressed viral load by 2020. The first 90 – diagnosis of HIV – is essential to both subsequent targets.

The new WHO Consolidated HIV Testing Services Guidelines aim to address gaps and limitations in current approaches to HIV testing services. The Guidelines collate existing guidance relevant to HIV testing services and identify issues and approaches for effective delivery of HIV testing services across a variety of settings, contexts and populations. In December 2015 the WHO Regional Office for Europe undertook a regional consultation aimed at disseminating the new WHO HIV Testing Services Guidelines in the WHO European Region. The consultation also aimed to identify barriers and share strategies to scale up HIV testing services in the Region.

The presentations, discussions and key recommendations and conclusions from the consultation are presented in this report.
